» WICONSI VOTES ONDRY LAV REPEAL Blizzard Hinders Balloting as Storm Blocks Roads in Rural Sections. HY the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, April 2.—An April hlizzard had become a factor in today's vote on the repeal of the Severson State prohibition enforcement act, - Many communities were faced with bad roads and transportation troubles following the Sunday storm.. The wets regarded this as favorable to their eause, pointing out that the rural com- munities generally vote dry. Even should the vote today favor re- peal of the act, it would not necessarily mean repeal of the State's dry laws, inasmuch as the balloting merely was an expression of State sentiment. Gen- erally it was regarded, however, that today’s vote would serve as a mandate with which the Legislature would com- ly. l”éhould the referendum carry, either for repeal or modification, legislation now pending would have to be passed by the legislature and signed by the governor before repeal would become effective. Today's referendum was in two parts, one for absolute repeal and the other for modification. Each voter was permitted to cast a ballot on one or both questions. There also was a referendum to re- peal the constitutional salary limita- tlons of $500 for the two-year terms for legislators. Another question was a constitutional amendment to permit sheriffs to serve two consecutive terms. . Hyattsville Legion to Meet.

Parker Wiilis, first secretary of the Federal Reserve the forthcoming issue American Review, asserts hat the blame for the current crisis in stock market speculation should be placed directly on the Reserve Bank directors, because of what he describes as their abandonpent of the basic idea of the system.
